Calculation Of Hydraulic Resistance Of A Tubular-Gridse Nozzle With Spiral Turbulizers, Nurmukhamedov Habibulla Sagdullaevich, Mavlonov Elbek Tulkinovich, S.Kh. Nishonova, Kh.S. Nurmukhamedov

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

The article presents the results of an experimental study on the hydraulic resistance of a tubular-grid nozzle made of smooth pipes and pipes with spiral turbulators. Experiments were carried out with nozzles made of smooth pipes and pipes with turbulators. Spiral turbulators are placed discretely with a step t/d=0,3125-0,9375 and installed on a tube sheet in a checkerboard pattern with a step s/d=1,15-10. Experimental studies were carried out with air flow in the transition region.

It has been established that with increasing numerical values of the dimensionless parameter s/d, the resistance of the pipe package decreases from 1,3 to 1,8 …

How Do You Interpret A Confidence Interval?, Paul Savory

Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Instructional Materials

A confidence interval (CI) is an interval estimate of a population parameter. Instead of estimating the parameter by a single value, a point estimate, an interval likely to cover the parameter is developed. Many student incorrectly interpret the meaning of a confidence interval. This paper offers a quick overview of how to correctly interpret a confidence interval.

Why Divide By (N-1) For Sample Standard Deviation?, Paul Savory

Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Instructional Materials

In statistics, the sample standard deviation is a widely used measure of the variability or dispersion of a data set. The standard deviation of a data set is the square root of its variance. In calculating the sample standard deviation, the divisor is the number of samples in the data set minus one (n-1) rather than n. This often confuses students. This paper offers a quick overview of why the divisor is (n-1) for calculating the sample standard deviation.
